At first, it feels wonderful. She remembers your favorite dishes, obscure movie quotes, even that exact shade of sweater you casually admired months ago. Dinner plans are effortless: “Booked us Giorgio’s again, your favorite — truffle ravioli and Cabernet, like last time,” Mary smiled warmly.

They are the invisible grammar behind every interface, the logic that makes visual language readable and coherent.
Ebbinghaus illusion — Example created by Maxim KichWelcome, my dear reader! Perhaps, just like me, you’ve searched the internet for different sources about the Gestalt principles and found that there are many, each slightly different from the others. That’s why I decided to bring several of them together, analyze and group them, and highlight the fundamental ones, the core laws that we, as designers, can confidently rely on when creating our work.
